I’m not a fan of overly-stuffed pizzas, or deep dish. Round Table has a good, solid, basic pizza with a large selection of toppings, all at a fair price. The staff is nothing but professional. Can’t ask for much more than that.

I would like to find a good New York-style pizza place for the rare occasions I want something more, though.

Zachary’s deep dish spinach and mushroom. They also have the best Cesar dressing with a little kick to it.

On the topic of pizza…I drove past the Blondie’s the other day and the inside of was piled w misc. junk /trash stacked high up against the windows. It looked like an episode of Hoarders could be filmed in there. Maybe they should have cleaned out the place before putting up the new sign. Not exactly appealing.

Zachary’s Chicago style mushroom and spinach or Rocco’s for regular…The Dominator is awesome or sausage mushroom with pesto. Skippolini’s sucks and is over priced. Tried a Sorrento’s to go and it was under cooked never again but love their food!

Each time I’ve tried Skipolini’s, I’ve been disappointed (and I’m obviously not a pizza snob since I tend to order from Round Table haha). We haven’t visited the Zachary’s in DTPH yet since there’s been a crazy wait whenever we’ve tried, but I’ve really liked their pizza at other locations.

Skips would be my fave although they can be hit or miss. Sometimes our pizza comes burnt on the bottom and undercooked on top. Happens more often than we would like ( at the walnut creek one only ).

Tried Rocco’s twice and both times bottom of crust was burnt so never went back.

For deep dish, Love Paxtis in Lafayette! Tastes as good as my other fave deep dish place, Zachary’s in Oakland. Tried the San Ramon Zachary’s and was not as good. Have not tried the P Hill Zachary’s yet.

Absolute favorite pizza place was The Pizza Place on n main in walnut creek which is now gone They had the best texture/tasting crust and pizza flavor was outstanding. Ordered to go often snd was sad to see them close!!!

Hanging out in Berkeley as a teen I always loved blondies! But the phill one never tasted as good as berkeleys.

I went there with my wife and kids to try it out. Always a little suspicious when people with tats, 5 different colors on their hair and gauges the size of golf balls are making my food…but I figured this was the “vibe” of the place so I’d check my concern.

Sure enough, 10 minutes into watching a guy make a pizza he scratches once of the meth sores on his arm then proceeds to spread the cheese and pepperoni on someones pizza without washing his hands. I think to myself, “self, ,did he just do what I think he did?” And as self was answering that question, the girl taking the money proceeded to help him make pizzas without any gloves. I asked myself again “self, did you just see that girl handle money then put her hands on someones food?” Before self could answer that one I told my wide and kids we’re leaving. I let them keep the money, I just had to get the hell out of there before I caught something. I never went back there and dont plan to ever again; new building or not.

Best pizza? The one my wife makes with dough and ingredients from Trader Joe’s.

Melo’s…love Zachary’s, but not everybody in my family likes the stuffed pizza thing, I think they’re crazy. And Rocco’s of course. Their risotto is amazing as well. Rocco’s is just kinda far from everything sometimes. Great after a Castle Rock walk though!

If you’re inside the city limits I guess would have to be strictly to go.
The owner and his wife are from Bulgaria and they’re very nice people
She also makes his own sausage LOL

But if you’re outside the city limits and you have to go to Gaspare’s there is one in the city and one in San Rafael and they are wonderful but you must be warned if you go to this place you will never be able to eat a pizza from a chain restaurant ever again.

Skipolini’s and DeVino’s are both quite excellent.
If you haven’t tried Patxi’s in Lafayette yet, you should. Much better than Zach’s.
I’ll check my Hepatitis vaccination status before I go to Blondies. Used to love the slices there and back in the day at Cal. Anyone remember Armadillo Pizza? Yum.

Skipolini’s for the special occasion. Mountain Mike’s for the quick delivery. We were just at DeVino’s last night. We always get an pasta dish. I told my wife that we need to order their pizza some time. After reading these comments, I’m definitely doing that on our next visit.

I have lived in the area for almost 14 years and have never wanted to even try Blondies. The place looks like it’s ready to fall down and infested with who knows what (or who). After two years of “improving” it, it looks worse than before. And now they move back in with it looking like that? No, thanks. Never.

In fact, I’ll never patronize any shop in that building. The city should declare eminent domain, condemn it as blight, tear it down and sell the land. The owner is irresponsible.

Here’s how you do it. Toast up some good sourdough bread, butter it, then spread your favorite tomato sauce, topped with your favorite cheese, then nuke and voila! you have the best pizza in town bar none!!!!!

I was a loyal Melo’s customer for 3 decades. About 6 years ago my wife and I bought a small Combination to go. When I got home, the only vegie on the pizza was one very small strip of green bell pepper. I called Melo’s and asked to talk to the manager. He told me that the veggies are for color only and no, he wouldn’t replace the pizza. We get out pizza at DeVino’s now, it’s consistently good pizza. At a party a few weeks ago the host bought Melo’s pizza, it confirmed that DeVino’s is still better, much better.

We loved Freddie’s in Lafayette but since they shut down we have been searching for a new favorite. Tavo’s was our new go-to but now we are on the lookout for a new favorite again. For thin crust we love Pizza Antica in Lafayette. I went to school in Berkeley and loved Blondie’s an Fat Slice. But we won’t be going to the Blondie’s here when they reopen. BARF!

Unlike most, I have a variety of pizza’s that I like. Bambinos, DeVinos, Skipolini’s and yes, Round Table. The newest addition to my repetoire is Pizza To Go. The Little Kitchen Sink is a few dollars less and plenty of flavor to this dollar conscious person. Costco has a decent pizza too.

The ones I will avoid at all costs are Dominos and Little Caesars. I haven’t tried one of those take n bake ones.

Notice they never cleaned out the building (Blondies in PHill) when they closed. All the ovens and stuff have just been sit’n there. Don’t want to think about it but my guess is they’ll just fire up the ovens and start cooking. A gross thought but even when it was open it never seemed that they focused much on cleaning.

Papa Murphy’s Take N Bake makes great pizza. Unfortunately, I had to stop going there because of my mobility issues. It is difficult for me to carry the pizza. So now I have it delivered by the pizza place closest to my home, which is Round Table Pizza. They are pretty good. I like Mountain Mike’s, too.

zachs was my favorite since were talking out of area, until i did a side by side comparison to north beach pizza in the city. sorry zach’s fans nbp blew zachs away. you need to go to the right location though. i’m lost in the city but its the one closest to north beach i believe. and i grew up back east in in a city filled w/ authentic italians, you know ‘forgidaboudit’ and i apprenticed under an italian chef who’s red sauce was so good i’d eat like it was soup.
